HNS II (hexanitrostiblene) is to be produced for Sandia in the Pantex Synthesis Facility. HNS II is made by a recrystallization of HNS I in dimethylformamide (DMF). HNS I is dissolved in hot DMF, filtered, and entered into a heating and cooling cycle. After cooling the slurry is filtered followed by an acetone wash, crystal altering in a Cowles dissolver, and then final drying.
